Convergent boundaries are plate boundaries formed when two tectonic plates crush together. The denser of the two plates goes under the other! For example, if two oceanic plates (which are tectonic plates found in the ocean) collide, the denser of the two plates goes under the other and forms an oceanic trench. If an oceanic plate and a continental plate collide (a continental plate is a tectonic plate that holds land/continents), the oceanic plate will go under the continental plate and goes into the mantle. If two continental plates collide, the crust thickens and is forced to create landforms such as mountains.
Convergent Plate Boundaries. Convergent boundaries form where two plates collide. These boundaries often form major mountain chains. These boundaries are identified by their high mountains, volcanic island arc chains, and deep earthquakes.An ocean plate converges with a continental plate.ivergent Plate Boundaries. Divergent boundaries can be mid-ocean ridges or continental rift valleys. At these boundaries, two neighboring plates move away from each other. Continental rift valleys are characterized by normal faulting and basalt-rich volcanoes.
